Came across a bunch of these guys all hangin out together on a hike in Australia.

Does anyone have any clue what they are? I thought maybe spiny orb weavers but they dont match perfectly.

For anyone from the Americas who thought they’ve seen these little guys before, Gasteracanta cancriformus is probably the cousin of OP’s orb weaver spider that you’re familiar with.

    We had tons of those in my backyard growing up in South Florida.
